Doesn't entirely sound like a HG issue. A lot of times when a HG is dying, you'll be losing coolant and getting lots of white smoke out of the exhaust (due to coolant being consumed). A sure way to test is a leak down test.
I'll echo what everyone else said and ask if you've checked the water pump (and belt) because, if the water pump wasn't functioning, it would sort of act the same way. Also, the temp gauge is electronically controlled; might wanna look into that too and rule out if the car is actually overheating.
As for the heater core, what exactly happened when it "blew up"? I've never heard anyone use that term for a heater core before. Could is possibly be a coincidence that the heater core needed to be replaced at the same time as a temp gauge or water pump problem?
Good luck!
